A Thanksgiving Giveaway

Susan Sleeman here. Though Thanksgiving is three weeks away, I won’t be posting here again until after the holiday so I wanted to share what I am thankful for this year and say a special thanks to all the wonderful Love Inspired readers with a book giveaway.

I’m always thankful for my family. For my beautiful daughters, adorable grandson, very responsible son-in-law, and my hubby who has put up with me for so many years. But this year, family has held a whole new meaning for me.

I have mentioned before that we moved cross-county this past year from Florida to Oregon to be closer to family. And praise God, it has been so wonderful. One daughter now lives with us as she finishes college, the other is just .2 of a mile away and she stops by often with our grandson. We regularly babysit for our five-year-old grandson and have recently enjoyed our first sleep over event with him. I cannot put into words how precious this time with our family is to us after living thousands of miles away from most them for ten years.

Not that it hasn’t been without its challenges. My hubby was unable to find a job as a church music director so he’s been working part-time at a retail store while he gets his real-estate license. So we’ve had to cut back on spending and really watch our pennies. Well, praise God again, he is now licensed and his second career in life is about to begin. I look forward to seeing him succeed in this new venture. I just hope now that he’s a real estate professional he won’t refuse to watch House Hunters with me because it will feel like work instead of relaxation. LOL

And I’d like to say how thankful I am to you, the wonderful, dedicated Love Inspired readers, I'm giving away two copies of my latest book, Thread of Suspicion. Just fill in the form below and you will be entered to win. Entering will sign you up for my newsletter, too, so you can learn about the other contests I hold. Be sure to check out the boring contest rules at the end of the post and also I'd love it if you leave a comment on this blog about what you are especially thankful for this month.

THREAD OF SUSPICION

FALSELY ACCUSED!
When someone sabotages former navy SEAL Luke Baldwin’s “unhackable” software, there’s more than his reputation at stake. Faced with treason charges, Luke turns to Dani Justice, a computer expert and skilled investigator. She’s eager to dive into the challenging case…until she uncovers a devastating connection. The hacker framing Luke has a personal, deadly history with Dani. Luke’s code of honor and his growing feelings make him resolved to protect the sweet, strong woman he knows is more vulnerable than she’d admit. But what good is his training or determination against an enemy who can hack into any system and find them wherever they hide?

Life's Storms

Susan Sleeman here. It’s raining, it’s pouring. . .

We have been having a monster rain storm in the Pacific Northwest. The remnants of a typhoon have pushed through the area giving us record rainfalls over the weekend. If you’re at all familiar with the northwest, you know that’s saying something as it rains here nearly every day from October through June.

Except for going to church, I've stayed home and watched the rain fall while listening to the wind howl. As I watch and listen the weather reminds me of the storms of life. How they blow in, mess us up, and then move on.

In Thread of Suspicion the fourth book in my Justice Agency series releasing today, Dani and Luke have both weathered their share of storms. Dani has embraced her faith and used it to make it though the tough times. Luke on the other hand has been shipwrecked by his storms and doesn’t trust God to do what’s best for him.

I have to admit, I’ve been Luke at times. Wondering how I will ever survive the storm I’m facing and wondering if God is listening. If He’s seeing what I’m going through. If He even cares. But then the sun comes out on the other side of the storm, and I’m reminded that God has been there all along. How about you? How have storms shipwrecked your life or how have you survived the storm and come out the other side stronger?

What does fall mean to you?

Susan Sleeman here. Wow, fall is here. Where did summer go? For that matter where did the year go? Is it flying by for you all? Seems like we were just talking about summer and it’s nearly gone. I have many memories related to fall, from pumpkins to dressing up to go trick or treating. What about you? What are your favorite memories of fall?

This year for me fall means a book release. Thread of Suspicion, the fourth book in The Justice Agency, will release on October 1st. This is Dani’s story and she’s such a tough yet vulnerable character I loved writing her story. And I’m thrilled to say that the Romantic Times reviewer gave it 4 1/2 stars which is their top review. Here’s the blurb.
